Over the past 24 hours, Thanh Hoa and Nghe An provinces have experienced virtually no rain. Floodwaters have receded from villages and residential areas, and people are now cleaning up their homes.
In Quy Chau district, the hardest-hit area in Nghe An province with over 1,100 households flooded to a depth of 0.5-2 meters, the floodwaters have receded this afternoon, leaving behind a thick layer of mud 3-5 cm deep on the ground. Inside people's homes, belongings are also covered in mud and scattered. Police, soldiers, and local militia are assisting residents in cleaning up roads and household items.

"The water came so quickly, within an hour, that the family didn't have time to move our belongings. We estimate the damage at tens of millions of dong due to some electronic items like the refrigerator and television getting soaked. My wife and I are trying to clean up the mud within two days," said a resident of Tan Lac town, which was once flooded up to 2 meters.
Similarly, in the seven midland and mountainous districts of Que Phong, Thanh Chuong, Nam Dan, Do Luong, Yen Thanh, Nghia Dan, and Ky Son, floodwaters have receded since early this morning. Currently, only light rain remains in some areas.
